IPOH: Teoh Beng Hock’s fiancee has entered the blogosphere to express her feelings and views on life and death.

Soh Cher Wei, whose blog “Don’t Say Goodbye” (http://sohcherwei.blogspot.com/), has just published a poem-like post which describes how she has been coping after his death.

Soh wrote that the two of them had been unlucky as those with self-interests had treated them like pawns in a game of chess.

“In the end, you are blamed (and) you are also gone forever,” she said.

She noted that it would be better for Teoh to be living “in the other world” than here.

She said she was only putting up a brave front now so as not to let others worry about her.

“The right to choose is not within my hands from the start. I have no option to say ‘No’, I have no right to object. I could only obey and follow the given path. I have no choice at all,” she wrote in the Mandarin blog.

In the Sept 23 entry, entitled “Am I Happy?”, Soh said with the people around her at ease, she would feel less sorry for herself.

Soh lamented that no one could provide her with an answer.

Despite all these upheavals, Soh gave her word that she would not commit suicide as she did not want to end up in hell, never to be reincarnated.

“We will then be apart as you are in heaven,” she wrote.

Before she ended, Soh said she would be reunited with Teoh after his death was avenged.

“Only death by old age awaits me now,” she said.

A check yesterday found that the blog had garnered 57 comments, mostly words of encouragement.

Sdr Teoh Beng Hock (1979-2009)

We are mourning the death of Sdr Teoh Beng Hock who passed away on 16th July 2009.

Sdr Beng Hock was invited by the Selangor MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) to assist in their investigation into constituency allocations. He went to the MACC Headquarters at around 5.40pm on 15th July 2009 but never came back. His body was found on the 5th floor of Wisma Masalam at 1pm on 16th July, less than 20 hours later. The MACC office is located on the 14th floor of the same building.

Sdr Beng Hock previously worked as a reporter for Sin Chew Daily and joined the office of Selangor Exco, Ean Yong Hian Wah after the 2008 General Election as the latter's political secretary. He was a helpful and diligent young man, liked by all who worked with him and cherished by those who are his good friends.

The death of Sdr Beng Hock is shrouded in mystery and a slew of unanswered questions. It involved a power law enforcement agency in the country – MACC - that was supposed to protect the interests of the people and the country. There have been many police custodial deaths but this is the first case of death in the custody of the MACC.

We demand answers and a detailed explanation of the death of Sdr Beng Hock. We demand justice for Sdr Beng Hock!
